HAPPY NEW YEAR!
(article first published : 2001-01-3)

artSMart wishes all readers the very best of health, peace, happiness and prosperity for the year 2001!

artSMart has come a long way since its inception two years ago. Apart from general coverage on all the arts disciplines, we cover reviews of theatre productions and books as well as movies on the general circuit.

Respected columnist Michael Green, former editor in chief of The Daily News and The Sunday Tribune covers whatís happening in the world of wines in his regular Michael Greenís Wine Notes. Crossword fanatic Ulysses Online talks about the vagaries of the English language in Contextually Yours. Both these contributions feature in Lifesmart, a new section that was introduced about a year ago to cover subjects that didnít fit in any of the defined arts disciplines.

Lifesmart is all about a better quality of life. It features everything from fashion and jewellery design to reviews of cookery or gardening books and occasional restaurant reviews. Keep an eye on Lifesmart, itís full of interesting items!

A new addition to artSMart is a cartoon feature of theatre productions by Napier Dunn. So far included are Comrades Arms (Drama), Thriller (Supper Theatre) and Fantastic Flying Fish Dance Companyís Romeo and Juliet (Dance).
